How to fry a juicy, proper pork steak in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the dish. Steak meat can be used either on the bone or without. I used an already chopped pork loin with no bone. In the store, the necessary meat can be sold under the names & quot; pork steak & quot;, & quot; loin & quot;. IMPORTANT!!! Meat should not be frozen, otherwise it will turn out to be & quot; rubber & quot; by structure.

It is more convenient to use already ground mustard. But if you have mustard in grains, like mine, then you need to either grind it in a mill, or put it in a bag and grind it with a rolling pin.

In a bowl, combine the ground paprika, mustard, black ground pepper and salt. Stir the spices. In addition to these spices, you can use various herbs, for example, Provence.

Wash the loin and dry with paper towels. The thickness of the steak can also vary from thin slices of about 1cm to 5cm. Choose what you like best, just the roasting time of such a steak can vary depending on the desired degree of roasting, as well as the thickness of the meat pieces. The fatter piece of meat you choose, the tastier and more delicate the steak will be. I don't like very fatty meat in any form, so I chose a low-fat loin

Grate the pork loin with a spice mixture and leave to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. If possible, leave the meat in the refrigerator overnight, having previously covered with cling film.

Brush the meat with vegetable oil.

Heat the pan over a high heat. There is no need to lubricate it, since the meat is already greased with vegetable oil. If there is a grill pan, then it is better to cook on it - you will also get a beautiful pattern on the meat. Lay out the pork loin and fry on one side for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the degree of roasting desired. I roasted the meat for 4 minutes on each side and it was completely cooked inside, since the thickness of my loin did not exceed 1 cm.

Focus on your preferences, the power of the fire and the thickness of the pan. Then turn the meat to the other side and fry for 2 to 5 minutes as well. Transfer the ready-made loaves to a dish and let rest for 2-3 minutes, covered with foil. Then serve the steaks to the table hot. The meat is juicy and fragrant, despite the small amount of fat in the loin itself. Enjoy your meal!
